And regarding the Maine mass-murder:

Newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said guns aren’t the problem and now isn’t the time for gun control in his first national interview on Thursday, a day after 18 people were killed in a mass shooting in Maine.

“At the end of the day, the problem is the human heart. It’s not guns. It’s not the weapons.” Johnson said in a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity on Thursday.

Johnson said now is “not the time” for gun control, citing his belief in the Second Amendment.

“At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves, and that’s the Second Amendment. And that’s why our party’s stands so strongly for that,” he said. “I agree with the comments of your guests there: This is not the time to be talking about legislation. We’re in the middle of that crisis right now.”
